I've just expanded the Spears expansion, so now there are enough to fill a row on each side for boards up to 12x12.

@Fergus: I want to add one more Pieces expansion before trying to dive into the GAME code.

Edit: Right now, the planned membership for this expansion is Abbess, Barc, Dragon Horse, Dragon King, Grasshopper, Harvester, Hawk, Heroine, Reaper, Roc, Rose, Sissa, Teutonic Knight, Turtle, War Machine, and Withdrawer. It's supposed to be the most familiar pieces that haven't been put in yet (in the main deck, or the three current expansions). I'm very open to suggestions along the lines of "take out X, and replace it with Y."

Addendum: I've also adjusted the dealing rules to improve the likely balance of the dealt-out pieces, as well as better integrate Spears if they're being used.
